Two Harris County Shootings Leave Man Hospitalized, Adult and Child Wounded

Authorities seek tips as investigators sort corrected details.

Overview

  • Deputies say a Friday night shooting at an apartment complex in the 5300 block of N Sam Houston Parkway left one man with multiple gunshot wounds and another suspect on the run.
  • Preliminary findings indicate two men argued in the parking lot before pulling handguns and exchanging fire, and officials believe at least one lives at the complex.
  • Investigators have not released identities or the hospitalized man's condition, HCSO has asked for information from the public, and one firearm was reportedly recovered at the scene.
  • In a separate incident Friday afternoon on the 4500 block of El Salvador Drive, one adult and one child who are family members were given tourniquets by Precinct 4 deputies and taken to a hospital.
  • Precinct 4 later corrected its initial account of the northwest case, saying it is no longer considered accidental and was not a shooting between two 16-year-olds, as both victims cooperate with investigators.
